I saw polenta in the grocery store for the first time and looked for a recipe to use it in, and came across this. Although it's not the usual recipe that my family gravitates towards, I am so glad I gave it a try! It is so yummy! And since it is loaded with healthy yummy things we don't feel the guilt along with our love for it. I've made it for several friends who were trying to find healthier recipes and they all have raved about it. We don't like olives so that is the only change we made - to omit them. Give it a try and enjoy!

We just thought this was OK. I omitted the kidney beans and eggplant due to personal dislike adn subbed red pepper for green and taco seasoning for fajita. I fried the polenta and served the salsa on the side. Seemed like too much trouble for something that didn't knock off our socks, but it was a good meatless meal to for us to try.

I loved this -- really healthy, great for lunch the next day, zippy and filling. The kids didn't like it at all. I made it exactly as described and will definitely make it again. Thanks!

I thought this recipe was fabulous! It was very yummy and tasteful. I think next time I will add some cheddar to polenta (I had not had it before and think it is just a tad bland) but otherwise was excellent!!

Pretty good. LP says if there was a vegetarian rating it would rate 5 stars. Personally, I wasn't fond of the pre-made polenta. Next time I'll make my own. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.

I liked this recipe, however I think next time I will fry the slices of polenta or bake the polenta by itself before adding the other ingredients because I didn't like the consistency on the bottom of the casserole. I liked the other ingredients but I ended up with a mushy flavorless layer at the bottom. Next time, I might also add some extra spices to the polenta.

I've never cooked with polenta before, and I doubt I ever will again. The taste wasn't too bad but I really disliked the grainy mushy texture. Husband wasn't too keen either. The rest of the meal was ok. I added some red pepper flakes for a little heat. Thanks anyway.

Certainly a keeper...I made this with very few changes. I omitted the kidney beans (did not have any); only used 3/4 pack of fajita seasoning and served the salsa on the side w/sour cream & guacamole. It could use something to hold the beans/corn together (serve with caution..LOL)...but NO ONE slowed down on eating it. Very tasty....try with Mexican Rice II, Sweet Corn Tomalito, Best Guacamole & of course some Margaritas! :) ENJOY!

I was just looking for something vegetarian. This recipe really surprised me with the first bite. It was delicious. It's also very versatile because you can change the vegetables around to suit your own tastes. Thank you so much for posting this winner!

Excellent for lunches. Even froze pretty well. Great alternative to meaty/starchy casseroles.

This was very tasty. I did make a few alterations but stuck to the spirit of the recipe.I left out the beans and instead added some roasted zucchini. I also roasted the eggplant. I also left off the salsa and used a very light dusting of a cheese blend. It was quite good, very healthy and reheats very well.

So, while I really loved the flavor combinations of this dish, if I make it again, I will definitely pay attention to the water content of the vegetables I'm using- we had more of a polenta mush situation when I made it. But, easy enough to make and an interesting way to eat vegetables.

Delicious flavor. A little inconsistent in texture though--lots of loose whole beans floating in juice. I liked it. My one year old ate it up. My three year old wouldn't touch it and my dh ate it but wouldn't eat the left overs. It was worth the try but don't know if I would make it again.

We are not fans of bell pepper and have no eggplant, but used 2 zucchini and a small can of chopped ortega chili peppers. We loved the flavor, first time polenta eaters, would make again and again!!

This was delicious! I made my own seasoning mix instead of fajita seasoning. Also used yellow squash instead of eggplant since it's what I had. Nice and healthy, I will definitely make this again!

Along with others, I also used half packet of seasoning. Since we like polenta, we may add more next time, putting another layer in the middle. Thanks for sharing!

very good dinner, and enough to feed a large family for 2 full meals! i was very impressed with the combo of the eggplant, onion, mushrooms and seasoning, and would definitely use that part in other recipes. i did also cut back to 1/2 packet, and used taco seasoning instead. 5 stars!!

Good easy recipe. Like other reviewers, I kept the salsa out to keep the dish from being too watery and served it on the side. I added green chile peppers as well. Filling and nice flavor.
